The current mainline kernel hangs on my laptop when the system goes to screen off idle.

It does this on all laptops. I have three, of different brands, and they're all affected. This issue comes and goes with updates.

I haven't had the "cool free stuff" opinion of software updates since like 2016.

More like: Your battery is too old so we'll pre-bill you for your $99/year subscription for the privilage of installing this CPU-Throttle update that you cannot refuse to install, and battery replacement costs almost as much as a new device.

MacOS updates are free.

A battery replacement for my iPhone 14 Pro is currently £95 and a new phone would be £1099. I just tried to book for a battery replacement but it advised me not to due to health being at 80%. Now I could go and pay them but they would advise against it until the health is worse to get more value for money.

We need to find more ways to fund the lovely FOSS devs

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The ways exist, but a lot of people are using FOSS for the first letter in the acronym.

My distro is downstream of arch, there's always an update. I just install them when I feel like it
